How GOD loves

 Jude 21

King James Version

21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, 

looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ 

unto eternal life.


Do you know how GOD loves?

Do you know how much He loves you?

What better proof, than through Scripture.

To know about love, first, we must know about GOD.

1 John 4:8

King James Version

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; 

for God is love.


Here is PROOF of GOD's LOVE:

Genesis 1:1-3

King James Version

1 In the beginning 

God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; 

and darkness was upon the face of the deep. 

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, 

Let there be light: 

and there was light.


Genesis 1:26-27

King James Version

26 And God said, 

Let us make man in our image, 

after our likeness: 

and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, 

and over the fowl of the air, 

and over the cattle, 

and over all the earth, 

and over every creeping thing 

that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.


Genesis 1:28

King James Version

28 And God blessed them, 

and God said unto them, 

Be fruitful, and multiply, 

and replenish the earth, and subdue it: 

and have dominion over the fish of the sea, 

and over the fowl of the air, 

and over every living thing 

that moveth upon the earth.


Genesis 1:29

King James Version

29 And God said, 

Behold, 

I have given you every herb bearing seed, 

which is upon the face of all the earth, 

and every tree, 

in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; 

to you it shall be for meat.


Genesis 2:7

King James Version

7 And the Lord God formed man 

of the dust of the ground, 

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; 

and man became a living soul.


Genesis 2:8

King James Version

8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; 

and there he put the man whom he had formed.


Genesis 2:20-23

King James Version

20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, 

and to the fowl of the air, 

and to every beast of the field; 

but for Adam there was not found an help 

meet for him.

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep 

to fall upon Adam, 

and he slept: 

and he took one of his ribs, 

and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, 

which the Lord God had taken from man, 

made he a woman, 

and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, 

This is now bone of my bones, 

and flesh of my flesh: 

she shall be called Woman, 

because she was taken out of Man.


Deuteronomy 7:7

King James Version

7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, 

nor choose you, because ye were more 

in number than any people; 

for ye were the fewest of all people:


Deuteronomy 7:8

King James Version

8 But because the Lord loved you, 

and because he would keep the oath 

which he had sworn unto your fathers, 

hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, 

and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, 

from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.


Deuteronomy 7:7-13

King James Version

9 Know therefore 

that the Lord thy God, 

he is God, 

the faithful God, 

which keepeth covenant and mercy 

with them that love him 

and keep his commandments 

to a thousand generations;


Deuteronomy 7:12-13

King James Version

12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, 

if ye hearken to these judgments, 

and keep, and do them, 

that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee 

the covenant and the mercy 

which he sware unto thy fathers:

13 And he will love thee, 

and bless thee, 

and multiply thee: 

he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, 

and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, 

and thy wine, and thine oil, 

the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, 

in the land which he sware 

unto thy fathers to give thee.


Deuteronomy 31:6

King James Version

6 Be strong and of a good courage, 

fear not, nor be afraid of them: 

for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; 

he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

King James Version

3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, 

Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: 

therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.


John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.


Romans 5:8

King James Version

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, 

in that, while we were yet sinners, 

Christ died for us.


Romans 8:32

King James Version

32 He that spared not his own Son, 

but delivered him up for us all, 

how shall he not with him also freely 

give us all things?


Romans 8:36-39

King James Version

36 As it is written, 

For thy sake we are killed all the day long; 

we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things 

we are more than conquerors 

through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, 

that neither death, nor life, 

nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, 

nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, 

shall be able to separate us from the love of God, 

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


1 John 3:1

King James Version

3 Behold, 

what manner of love the Father 

hath bestowed upon us, 

that we should be called the sons of God: 

therefore the world knoweth us not, 

because it knew him not.


1 John 4:9

King James Version

9 In this was manifested 

the love of God toward us, 

because that God sent 

his only begotten Son into the world, 

that we might live through him.


1 John 4:10

King James Version

10 Herein is love, 

not that we loved God, but that he loved us, 

and sent his Son to be the propitiation 

for our sins.


Revelation 21:1-2

King James Version

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: 

for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; 

and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, 

coming down from God out of heaven, 

prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.


Revelation 21:3

King James Version

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, 

Behold, 

the tabernacle of God is with men, 

and he will dwell with them, 

and they shall be his people, 

and God himself shall be with them, 

and be their God.


Revelation 21:4

King James Version

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; 

and there shall be no more death, 

neither sorrow, 

nor crying, 

neither shall there be any more pain: 

for the former things are passed away.


Revelation 21:5

King James Version

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, 

Behold, 

I make all things new. 

And he said unto me, 

Write: 

for these words are true 

and faithful.


Revelation 21:6-7

King James Version

6 And he said unto me, It is done. 

I am Alpha and Omega, 

the beginning and the end. 

I will give unto him that is athirst 

of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; 

and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.


We purposely used the word "loves", in place of "loved".

GOD's love never ends.

He cares about each one of us.

2 Peter 3:9

King James Version

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 

as some men count slackness; 

but is longsuffering to us-ward, 

not willing that any should perish, 

but that all should come to repentance.


The whole Bible is GOD's story.

It is PROOF of His faithfulness, and never-ending love for us.

DESPITE our sinful nature, and betrayals, GOD continues to love us.

From Genesis, to Revelation, you shall witness GOD's LOVE.

Most of all, He sent His Son, JESUS, to save us.

What greater love could there be?

The next post tells us how JESUS loved.
